Hey I didn't know whether to post this here or in the recording section, since everything over there is pretty top notch, and this isn't.
For all intents and purposes, this is my first at home recording, and I'm wondering why it sounds so weak. And by weak, I mean I have to crank the volume much higher to hear this than the mix of others, even though the levels in Reaper are telling me it is about to clip. Is it that I'm recording directly into reaper through the pod x3 live? I've heard this can give less than desirable results. Or is it just that my tone is balls?
The drums are the latest version of Superior 2.0. I'm mapping them in fruity loops 8, and then exporting them to a .wav file, which I then record over in reaper. I don't record in FL8 because I get some nasty latency for some reason.
Any tips would be awesome, not necessarily just the issue with volume.
